COMBINED BACK-BAND BUCKLE AND TRACE-CARRIER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 389,808, datedSeptember 18, 1888.

(No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, WILLIAM H. HAYDEN, J r., a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Columbus, in the county of Franklin and State ofOhio, have invented new and useful Improvements in Combined Back-BandBuckles and Trace-Carriers, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in combined back-band buckles andtrace-carriers; and it consists in certain novel features hereinafterdescribed and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, which fully illustrate my invention,Figure 1 is a side elevation of my improved device, showinga portion ofa back-band applied thereto. Fig. 2 is a perspective view showing theparts of the device detached. Figs. 3 and 4 are views showingslightly-modified forms.

Referringito the drawings by letter, A designates the frame of thecombined trace-carrier and back-band buckle, which consists of thecrossbar B, the short bars 0 at the ends of the same and dependingtherefrom, and the triangular portion D, depending from said short bars0. The trace-carrier E is formed on this triangular portion D. It willthus be seen that an open space, F, is provided above the tracecarrier.On the cross-bar B, at the center of the same, I form the offsetcatch-hook or lug G, as shown.

H designates a securing bail or loop, which is adapted to engage thislug, catch, or hook G and secure the back-band. The end of the back-bandJ is passed through the open portion F of the frame A, then through thebail or loop, and then back again through the open space F. The freeportion of the bail or loop is then engaged over the lug or offset G andthe back-band is securely fastened.

In Fig. 3 I have shown the bail or loop as engaging the ]ng G formed onthe trace-carrier.

In Fig. 4 I have shown the triangular portion as depending directly fromthe cross-bar B, and two short bars above the same, behind which theback-band passes. In all the forms, howeveigthe essential feature of myinvention is preserved-$0 wit, the bail securing the back-band andengaging the buckle-frame.

Having thus described my invention,wl1at I claim, and desire to secureby Letters Patent,

to secure the backhand, substantially as set
